CBD Fact Sheet

What is CBD? The cannabis plant has over 400 naturally-occurring chemical compounds, of which over 80 are classified as cannabinoids, including cannabidiol (CBD) and the more well-known THC, or delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol. CBD is likely the most abundant cannabinoid, composing about 40 percent of cannabis resin. CBD is sold in a variety of forms, including tinctures, sprays, oils, edibles, vapes and topical creams; though, most people purchase CBD as an oil.

What is the difference between CBD and THC? The main difference between CBD and THC is their psychoactive effect, or their mind-altering abilities. While THC impairs mental and physical functions and can produce a state of euphoria, CBD does not produce feelings of being “high”. In fact, CBD has been shown to reduce the intoxicating effects of THC.

Though scientific studies have shown THC to have therapeutic effects, the cannabis compound can increase the physical and psychological symptoms of anxiety, induce temporary psychosis, and impair short-term memory and motor functions.

Because CBD does not produce mind-altering effects, CBD oil can be used in everyday situations, including social, academic, and professional environments.

What are the possible health benefits of CBD oil? Though more research is needed, scientific studies have shown CBD may have a number of therapeutic effects and studies are ongoing.

What is the appropriate dosage of CBD oil? Though a wide variety of doses up to 1,500 mg/day of CBD have been reported safe, individual tolerance levels will vary. Harsh side effects were either rare or unobserved in people using CBD, though the most common side effects reported by users are tiredness, diarrhea, and changes in appetite and weight.
